Congratulations! You found a Smokey Bear trackable!
For 75 years, Smokey Bear has protected America’s forests from unwanted, human-caused wildfires. Smokey – one of the most-loved issue ambassadors of our time – and his signature phrase, “Only you can prevent wildfires,” are truly iconic.
Though Smokey has been essential to the reduction of wildfires over the last 75 years, he still needs help. Even today, nearly 9 out of 10 wildfires nationwide are caused by people. In fact, his message is even more relevant today as people are living closer and closer to wildlands and more frequently choosing outdoor recreation activities. Smokey may be 75, but he’s still going strong and his message is more important now than ever before.
Only YOU can prevent wildfires, and here’s how! While at home or on camping trips, follow these important safety tips:
- Campfire Safety
- Equipment Use and Maintenance
- Backyard Debris Burning
This Smokey Bear trackable is provided by the Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign, which is administered by the
USDA Forest Service, the
National Association of State Foresters and the
Ad Council. Created in 1944, it is the longest-running public service advertising campaign in U.S. history, educating generations of Americans about their role in preventing wildfires. Learn more at

I want to go home! I was born in 1950 in New Mexico's Capitan Mountains. There is a geocache about me near there (GC1TMP9) and I would like be there for awhile (day or two is fine). My goal is to visit places that have been effected by forest fires. When you log me at a cache near these sites, please tell others about the impact of that fire. Or if you yourself have been affected by a forest fire, tell your story. Why do this? Because we all need to help people be safer in the forests so we do not start another fire!
See a picture of Smokey the Bear in the Gallery. The picture is from Wisconsin Historical Society Website (https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM39436) : The caption for that picture is: Smokey Bear cub receives treatment from Dr. Edwin J. Smith of Santa Fe, for burns he suffered in a forest fire.
